Hi guys......
Since we last spoke I have been to an amazing yoga and meditation retreat in Guatemala. I have been staying in a little Myan village in San Macos which is on Lago de Atitlan.. (lake atitlan.).. the lake is surrounded by 3 exciting live volcanoes...and several little villages....
The cabana you can see on the lake is my favourite meditation place... and when you can see the view and am sure you can understand why...
There is a photo of me in a Guatemalian hot tub... which was decieving... it was extremely hot and had a cold one next to it.... and of course it overlooked the beautiful lake....
The yoga retreat was refreshing... with 4 weeks of yoga, meditation and metaphysics.....the sunrises were something worth getting up early for.The meditation temple was a pyramid and was rather interesting when we were hit by earthquake tremors.....
The man you can see with the cigarette in his mouth is known as Sam Simon... He is known as the smokin god...He is a god made out of wood and is popular in the highlands. He is usually draped in silk scarves and smokes a fat cigar.. or cigarettes...now how does that work when he is made out of wood..... go figure... but when i bought him a cigarette.... yes he was smoking it.....He is the god of vices...
so if you want a hit on your next door neighbour... you can go to ask him.... make sure you bring rum and cigars..... of course you can ask for good things too.. like money...
Well i finished the retreat off with a weeks silence (yes you can get up off the floor now)... because I did it... and a week of fasting ... which was great....
just what i needed.. a months meditation in a vortex living with the locals and living off the land....life is so simple here.....
A huge thank you to such a great room buddy Christina.....you are an amazing woman and it was a pleasure sharing my experience with you..
until next time
